Funding body information

Walsall Council

Point of contact:

Community Development Team, 01922 654721, communitydevelopment@walsall.gov.uk

Schemes:

Despite requests for information from this council, we have been unable to confirm their arrangements for community and voluntary sector funding. We will continue to try and obtain the relevant information and will update this entry at a later date.

Many local authorities are now moving away from grant-making and beginning to use commissioning as a way to distribute funding to the third sector. Local commissioners can be difficult to find and identify, however NAVCA have created a guide that may help: 'Finding your Commissioner'

Useful organisations:

Walsall Council does not appear to run any funding schemes for voluntary sector groups. We were unable to make contact with any departments dealing with voluntary sector funding and the website has no specific voluntary sector or funding pages.

Our ratings are by no means a final verdict, just a starting point to begin discussions about the voluntary sector’s experience of government funders. We are inviting all subscribers to share their experiences and contribute to the DSC Funder Rating. If you can help, please email us at ratings@governmentfunding.org.uk
